A ball of energy electrifies my entire body.
It builds up in my core,
And it explodes into a million intense sensations.
It travels throughout my body,
It makes its way through all my limbs,
My arms,
My legs.
My nervous system is a highway.
It goes all the way,
And it stops in my fingers and toes,
The terminus station of my body.
It accumulates at the end of my body,
And it doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
I feel the energy in my fingers and toes.
It’s so intense that it hurts.
But it’s a sweet pain which I never resent.
You kiss me and I take it in.
